What a great game. 10 pages of rules, half of which are very clear examples leads to may parts that interplay very nicely.

In Whistle Mountain, by Scott Caputo & Luke Laurie, you will gather resources, manage workers, and carefully arrange your machines as you climb to the highest peaks of the mountains. Use resources to upgrade equipment and win the race for progress while the water level beneath you rises dangerously, putting your workers at risk!
Das Spiel ist verfügbar
- 40 cards (63.5mmx88.0mm)
Whistle Stop designer Scott Caputo has teamed up with Luke Laurie (Manhattan Project: Energy Empire) to create a new worker-placement strategy title. Whistle Mountain gives a nod to Whistle Stop, but in this standalone game, you leave the train tracks behind and head to the sky with blimps, dreadnoughts, and hot air balloons! In Whistle Mountain, take your company's massive profits from all of that railroading and invest them in new technologies, deep in the Rocky Mountains where there is an abundance of resources. Your workers build crazy arrays of scaffolds and machines, upgrading your abilities and collecting resources. As you build with the help of your airship fleet, the mountain's melting snow causes the water below to rise higher and higher, putting workers in danger and increasing the tension on the dynamically-changing board. Because the resources you gather are determined by what players build, each game evolves differently, resulting in endless replayability. You have to choose between acquiring new abilities and enhancements for your airships and workers or building all sorts of contraptions as quickly as possible in order to achieve victory on Whistle Mountain. —description from the publisher

My favorite worker placement game! Took me a while to get the hang of it honestly but once I did, I became super interested in the variety of strategy. Lots of replayability here, that's for sure.
This was my favorite game to play in 2020 and will be in my top 10 for the foreseeable future. There is so much to love about this game that the best thing to do is add it to your collection and play it and play it often. I've had this on the table over 20 times now and it's just as much fun as the first time I played it.
This game is criminally underrated, Holy cow is this game fun. There are variable starting powers you can get at the beginning of a game that are very different from each other and fun. It has a polyomino tile laying aspect which you then can place a worker activation machine on top letting you build the worker placements throughout the course of the game. It will never play out the same way and has some cool components. The cards aren't game breaking by any means but can definitely help you out in a pinch.
Whistle Mountain rates a 10 for me because I just think it is a very well thought out, thematic game that looks great on the table, ad is fun to play. There is a lot going on in terms of understanding the nuances of construction and of getting and playing cards, and of managing the movement of your workers across the scaffold, but the variety of opportunities that comes up in the game creates some interesting choices. It is difficult to remember to take advantage of all of your upgrades, but the game gives you an opportunity to synergize your actions for better payouts, and if all players can succeed in creating some bonus points for their actions, it can be a very competitive game.
